HNTB Releases White Paper to Help Toll Agencies Understand Rating Agency Factors

KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 7, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A new HNTB Corporation white paper explores how understanding financial market expectations can help decision makers on tolling projects lay the foundation for delivering new projects and sustaining capital investment in existing systems.

The white paper, "Toll facility ratings: A credit perspective," is authored by Tanya Langman, HNTB director of financial services, and Brad Guilmino, national director of HNTB Advisory.

"The number of new and expanded tolling facilities is increasing nationwide as public agencies seek to relieve congestion and provide funding to support growing infrastructure needs. Most agencies issue debt by leveraging future toll revenues to finance new construction and roadway rehabilitation projects—and that debt issuance is highly dependent on the credit perspective provided by rating agencies."
